mon Neacs,
Our streets werc disgraced by Sc
ries of horse races hast Sunday after
noon, by parties who lay cisina to re-
spectability. We cannot believe that
it was done because of disregard for
the feelings Of order-loving citizens,
but more through the thoughtless effer-
vescehce of youth, and trust that it
will net be repeated.
Don't diminish your faith The
new railroad Is coming to Glare. Just

If the saloon-keepers IN Grayling
must sell liquor to lumbermen until
they get beastly drunk, they should
not kick them into the street while in
that condition, but take care OF them
until they get sober. Many Of them
we are afraid are robbed by loafers
about the saloons, previous to being
kicked into the street
County Treasurer Woodbnfn has not
been visible for the past ten days, and
inquiry has been brisk as to his jour.

him away but if those interested will
drop Into the village of WebbeFville.
we think they will find him with his
bride, late Miss Mary L. IIildreth, of

A drunken Ealloot, last Monday,
made a spectacle of himself by riding
horse along the pavements and driv-
ing respectable people, women and
children into the street, while he was
cheered on by his drnhken associates
in front of one or the saloohs. This
kind of work must stop and those who
are responsible should see that it is
done.
The item in cur last issue with refer
ence to the financial embarrassment of
d. w. Mills, of Crawling, appears to

an assignment and furthermore, does
not expect TO do so. We cheerfully
make the correction. = Caro- Adoe'tis-
